I do like the idea of the Pensieve. Perhaps I could buy one at the local hardware store. I do think that, for me, smoking was a way of self-medicating. Going through this has taught me a lot of lessons. The greatest of these is the understanding that smoking never makes anything better. Oh I grant you that there were times when smoking seemed to make things bearable. But quitting is more about finding other ways to bear life's burdens without resorting to destroying my health. And you will do that as well.

Addiction is a self-made prison. As such we are both the jailer and the prisoner. All we must do in order to find our freedom is have the courage to ask ourselves for the key.

Yes you are right there for my money. All addiction, including the one we share is a form of addaptive behavor. We do these things for a reason and if we are to reach the land of cessation, we must understand why we choose to treat ourselves so badly. For me, quitting has required a great deal of introspective understanding. Each of us must, in our own way, come to terms with ourselves in a way that allows us to put our self-destructive desires aside and begin to heal.

There is no one answer that fits all. We are all unique individuals and we owe it to ourselves to treat ourselves with the respect that we deserve. I think that quitting is in a way a form of self acceptance that allows us to remember that we matter. Once we understand our own self-worth, it becomes much easier to see the value in others. And those are very good things indeed...
